MultiStar Family
Speed, Accuracy and Precision –
All in One Package
The MultiStar family of products features Field Analyzers, a Multi-Tone
Radiated Immunity Test System and a Precision DSP EMI Receiver that all
utilize groundbreaking technology to perform multiple tasks simultaneously.
These products dramatically reduce test time, provide more information
and assure the highest degree of accuracy.
The MultiStar Field Analyzers measure modulated electric fields and CW
fields with a sampling rate of 1.5 million times per second. The MultiStar
Multi-Tone Radiated Immunity Test System tests multiple frequencies
concurrently, taking just minutes to perform tests that used to require
hours. The MultiStar Precision DSP Receiver can measure a signal using 4
CISPR detectors simultaneously, reducing test times from days to hours.

New MultiStar Test System Makes RF Radiated Immunity Testing
Faster Than Ever!
Reduces Testing From Days to Hours
Model MT06000A
Multi-Tone RF Radiated Immunity System,
65 MHz - 6 GHz
The Model MT06000A (MultiStar Multi-Tone Tester) is a state-ofthe-art system designed to test RF Radiated Immunity faster than
ever before possible. By testing multiple frequencies (tones) at once,
test times can be reduced by a factor proportional to the number
of tones selected. The number of tones is only limited by the signal
generator bandwidth (150 MHz) and the size of the amplifier used
with the system.
Everything is contained in a single housing, which eliminates setup
issues. The software includes automated routines to calibrate the
field and maximize the speed of test (most tones possible) while
still meeting the Linearity and Harmonics requirements of the
specification. In the event of an EUT failure, margin investigation
(thresholding) and traditional single tone testing can be performed
causing a slowing of the test only in the areas of concern.
The MT06000A contains all the instruments needed to perform
radiated immunity testing for IEC 61000-4-3 specification except the
required amplifiers, antennas and directional couplers. Amplifiers
can be sized and selected based on your required field levels and
testing needs. Up to 4 RF amplifiers and directional couplers can
be controlled and monitored and power can be delivered to up to 4
antennas to generate the desired fields. The system contains a vector
signal generator, a vector signal analyzer, an RF pre-amplifier, an
RF field probe and monitor, an RF switch matrix, and automated
radiated immunity test software.
This system has the versatility needed for every test laboratory and
equipment manufacturer while adding the benefit of reduced
test times and greater throughput.

MultiStar Field Analyzer
Instant Gratification –
FA7000 Series Makes
Electric Field Measurements
Faster, Easier,
More Accurate Than Ever
The FA7000 series of Field Analyzers represents a
new patent-pending approach to more accurately
measure modulated electric fields as well as CW
electric fields. This innovative approach uses an
isotropic field sensor to sample the composite field
and transmit its amplitude digitally over optical fiber
to a processor unit. The sample rate of the FA7000
Field Analyzer is 1.5 million samples per second –
significantly faster than conventional RF field probes
– enabling them to accurately measure pulsed electric
fields in the microsecond range.
Each of the FA7000 series analyzer kits
provides a web-based, oscilloscope-type display of the
instantaneous electric field strength or power density
over time and calculates the minimum, maximum,
and average field strength of the waveform as
displayed. Each kit consists of an isotropic field
sensor, glass fiber-optic cabling, and a processor
unit. The processor unit stores all of the necessary
amplitude corrections for its associated field sensor.
Correction factors for many frequencies are
provided with each kit. These factors can be loaded
into the processor unit to automatically correct the
field readings at user-specified frequencies. When
correction factors are applied, the true accuracy of
this device is realized.

Introducing the NEW Precision
DSP Receiver: Amazing Speed,
Incredible Accuracy.
The DER2018 is a state-of-the-art DSP-based emissions receiver with an
integrated computer capable of reducing your valuable test time from days to
minutes. It is extremely easy to operate with all functions menu driven and
displayed on a supplied 23” widescreen monitor.
This digital receiver offers continuous coverage from 20 Hz to 18 GHz
with an instantaneous bandwidth of 140 MHz, and with the optional down

proprietary algorithm to allow scans in seconds, catch short duration transient
disturbances, and identify emissions using a fast time base 3D display.
And if this wasn’t enough, it complies with CISPR-16-1-1 edition 3.0 2010-01
without any exceptions.

Receiver Accessories
CFE1840 Down Converter
18 – 40 GHz
LN1G18 Low Noise Pre-Amplifier
1 – 18 GHz
This low noise, high dynamic range down-converter translates
signals in the 18–26.5 GHz and 26.5–40 GHz bands (K
and Ka-bands) to the 4–18 GHz band for further processing
by a spectrum analyzer or an EMC test receiver such as the
DER2018.
The CFE1840 provides ample gain of RF signals to
accommodate long cable runs between the down converter
and the EMC test receiver, while maintaining a good noise
figure for the system. The CFE1840 has a stable, built-in noise
source to facilitate self-test and self-calibration operations. The
CFE1840 integrates seamlessly with the DER2018 EMI test
receiver, forming a 20 Hz to 40 GHz test system.
The Model LN1G18 is a broadband, self-contained linear
amplifier for laboratory applications requiring instantaneous
bandwidth and low noise. It has been designed specifically
for use with the DER2018 EMI receiver and ATH1G18 or
ATS700M11G antennas.
The LN1G18, with its low noise figure, can be used
to increase the sensitivity of receivers with relatively high
noise figures. It also is useful for amplifying low level signals
to more useful levels for driving power amplifiers and other
similar applications.
LT1000 Transient Limiter
10 Watts, 9 kHz - 100 MHz
The LT1000 Transient Limiter is used to protect and prevent
damage to the sensitive RF input of the DER2018 EMI
Receiver from power line disturbances when performing EMI
measurements. The LT1000 has a constant 10dB loss
in the 9kHz to 100 MHz frequency range as well as a high
pass filter to attenuate the power line frequency and its
respective harmonics.
